This checklist is aimed at helping the public authorities and the clubs in particular to prepare for high-risk matches. It comprises 70 or so measures to be applied in order to guarantee security and safety at such matches. There are six columns identifying the persons or bodies responsible for each measure (stadium owner, organiser, if different, national football association, UEFA, public authorities, other). Each recommended measure must identify at least one person or body as being responsible for it, and should preferably specify the timescale for implementing the said measure.

checks at entrances to the stadium, assistance and advice for spectators arriving at and leaving the stadium (including traffic measures and supervision around the stadium);

control of ticket sales; planning of financial issues related to the match ; co-operation with the media ; special activity programmes for spectators before and after the match ; provision of information.
